Why are americans so misguided by marriage?

Anonymous

Here are some myths that I realized weren't true as I gained more life experience.

American myth: if you are divorced, it means you married the wrong person.

Truth: People who don't divorce are simply willing to work on their problems rather than abandoning their problems. It doesn't mean they married the "right person".

American myth: Everyone marries their perfect match aka "soulmate" or the "right person".

Truth: Married people or those who are in a lot of relationships just have lower standards compared to people who are chronically single or unmarried. The pickier you are, the more likely you will stay single.

everyone has known that person who is so unappealing that you could never imagine being with but apparently, they are "dating" or "have dated" someone. Everyone knows of that couple who always gets into terrible vicious fights but always end up being ok afterwards.
